Philippines

She is one of the first countries I've visited in my life after India and China and for me it was a beautiful country and a nice people to deal at least measure the two countries that were before my visit to the Philippines

And before anything I like to give a glimpse of this country quickly to have a simple idea about a country you might visit someday

Introduction

The Philippines is a constitutional Republican in South-East Asia, the western Pacific Ocean. There are more than 7107 Islands in the Philippines, bordering the Philippines from the north of Taiwan, and Vietnam from the west on the South China Sea side. The Sulu Sea limits it from the south-west and separates it from the island of Borneo and the Sea of Salps to the south, separating it from other islands in Indonesia. And from the east bounded by the Sea of the Philippines.

The Philippines is classified into 3 main geographical sections:

1. Luzon 2_ and Mindanao 3_

You expect why he named the Philippines?

The name was launched for King Philip II of Spain and of course the Philippines ' official name has been changed several times throughout history by the Philippine Revolution (revolutions in all countries of the world and not limited to Arabs)

Of course and because the name of the Philippines was the common and popular this name proved so far, the Philippines has suffered a lot of colonization from several countries beginning in China, then Japan, then China, Spain, and the Ashu was the Spanish colonization because they were criminals, the Filipinos boarded Spain in 1565 A.D. but in the old The 18th America colonized the Philippines and then the Philippines gained independence from the American colonization in 1898 A.D., so in this case the Philippines is a mixture of cultures and likes with so-called "mix-country" any different veins entered by this people and it is natural that colonization has its positives and negatives although the negativity of freedom cannot Counting any positive after that, I got a position years ago in DC, where I saw a man like a European selling in one of the Philippines and a couple of people in a Filipino. When I asked him about the escort, he told me that this man is a Filipina of Spanish origin. As a result of colonization, the Filipino people have acquired some congenital and congenital qualities The example of smoothness of poetry, English, and a few Spanish, famous to them, is that the original Filipino has a curly hair, according to the Filipino Doctor Cora, from which I learned a little bit of Filipino and has a fantastic story that we can remember.

Ok I will mention some information in the form of points to make it easy to understand:

First: The official language of the country is the Filipino and English languages, and it has recognized local languages, namely, the Tawakibsesiciano Hilgagano, Kano Bambango Pancezano and Rai Bisaya Imagine we have every region have a language

And the Philippines almost the third country worldwide speaks English after America and Britain this is an advantage for tourists

Second: The population of the Philippines is approximately 101 million, according to the latest update.

Third: The capital of the Philippines is Manila and I heard a novel from some of them that her name was Aman Allah then turned to man God then to Manila and these novels in the labels are frequently repeated in more than one State in India and specifically in Kirla says that the people of this country that their name in the former the goodness of God then turned into a god Kerr It's a book I'm forgetting, and I'm not telling her health.

If we agree that the capital is Manila and Manila is divided into more than one department the most important is the sophisticated and modern Makati towers, and Mapini, the area where the recruiting offices are, and we can say that the Batha was followed

Fourth: The Philippines currency is the PHP peso and the Saudi riyal equals 10 to 12 pesos and it is funny that the first trip went to replace the coins and replaced 5000 ﷼ and was worth 60,000 thousand pesos, I wanted to deal with it as 60 thousand riyals):

Of course, that happened before I went to Vietnam and replaced the 500 riyals with millions of Vietnamese currency, like Nandsia and other countries I've made in millions, and it's nice when you disclose an account in these countries to your bank account and you find that your balance is billions, but after you return, this number will soon change. When you first cashier in your country

Here's a very important note that you should not overlook, namely, that you must tell your bank on your account if you want to travel to the Philippines and some other countries are specific to you in order to be able to draw because the system in the banks in some countries security stops the clouds from your account to save you and I got this a while ago in Philippines Fortunately I have a proper cash.

Fifth: Religions in the Philippines there are more than 85% of Filipinos are Christians

About 75% belong to the Roman Catholic Church and 10% belong to other Christian denominations, such as the Philippine Independent Church, either for our Filipino Muslim brothers, who constitute up to 15% of the population living mostly in parts of Mindanao, Palawan, and the Sulu Archipelago in An area known as Bangsamoro or Moro. Some migrated to cities and rural areas in different parts of the country.

Sixth: Philippine Infrastructure

By watching the Philippines even though it is underdeveloped in the structure but it is much better than some of the Arab countries I recall one year of heavy rains and were in Manila specifically

I expected the severity of the rain to flood so that the lobby of the hotel had a water connection

The Mustang in that water acted and vanished completely without human intervention in a matter of hours, which is beautiful, but as a global classification, the Philippines maintains that its transport infrastructure is, for example, relatively underdeveloped, partly because of the nature of mountainous terrain and scattered islands, as well as the lack of government investment in Infrastructure I remember I read a topic about the structure of the Philippines according to the study, in 2003, only 3.6% of the Philippines ' local output went to infrastructure development and this ratio is very weak

I've been dating some labor for interviews, and they don't come on schedule. The reason is often the poor roads to the capital or the unavailability of sufficient flights by plane or bus

The Philippines has three major railway networks serving various areas of Metro Manila, parts of Luzon, a light rail transport system in Manila, Metro Manila and the Philippine National Railways. It also has a passenger ship network, but so far the logical ratio and air transport is located in the Philippines approximately 85 general commercial airports, 111 private military airfields and others of course the largest airport is the Ninoy Aquino Airport, the main international airport. Of course there are other important airports example of Diosdado Macapagal International Airport, Cebu Mctan International Airport and Francisco Bangui International Airport. The main operator is the Philippine Airways, the oldest commercial airline in Asia, still operating under its original name and the second flight, an economic airline called Cebu Pacific, which is more focused on internal flights, of course in many information in education, health and others I like to mention because it It takes a long time and it is not useful for a tourist going once or twice

Seventh: The right time to visit the Philippines and the weather in general briefly in the Philippines 3 seasons

1_ Rainy from June to October

2_ moderate to cold from November to February

3_ hot from March to May

The coldest month is a gnorry and the hottest months are 4 and 5 and this is almost yearly

Eighth: Travel and entry to the Philippines for citizens of Gulf states doesnt need a visa the important thing is that your passport has a period of six months and an advice dont pay any tip to any official because it might turn against you and about the length of time allowed to sit in the Philippines it was 21 days and extended to a full month if you like to sit more than a month As you go to the Immigration and Travel office in the Philippines and you extend your seating and pay money for your sitting more than a month which is the value of the visa and the amount is not big and make sure you have your hotel address and return ticket because you may have a question in the airport about it which is 1%

Ninth: Travel costs:

haha people and about exchanging money take a dollar with you and accept it from exchange shops inside the Philippines Manila and make sure you compare prices to get the best

X. Transport in the Philippines like the Asian countries and the best thing is the plane if you are aiming to visit distant islands for example in my class and after the flight the buses then the sea transportation and if you are you travel in the bus make sure that you travel in the evening leave it early in the morning to benefit from your day and if you have bags please be beside As a precaution

Filipino people love help so ask them and especially the hotel staff about the best way to navigate to the destination you have set.

XI. The food and drink spread in the Philippines manila a number of restaurants that offer Arab Lebanese, Iraqi, Iranian and Indian food and also international restaurants and watch out for oysters or coincidences and its name in the Philippines they qualify because it might contain typhoid

And the food you don't buy from the peddlers even the fruits buy it and cut it yourself better

And do not drink water from the tap because it may be suitable for drinking buy of ready-made cans

Some of the Arab restaurants in Manila:

1. Petra Restaurant

2. The Shawarma Centre in Arata

3. Hussein Kebabs Iranian shoes

4. Al-Quds Arata Restaurant

5. Arata Red Sea Restaurant

XII: I advise you to draw a complete program for your journey to enjoy more in shopping, nature and others.

XV: Flight bookings and hotels

Of course (international aviation) in more than one site I mentioned in the blog you can search for it and you will get the lowest price and I advise you to fly International take DirectX either from Saudi airlines or the Philippine lines without stopping

(internal flight) so you're more experienced than a site that gives you its details and the lowest price for an internal Philippine flight or you can cut the inner ticket from one of the known offices in your country or you will get offices in the Philippines so much you cut easily

And also the hotels i dont like to be the guardian of the quality of the hotels but the application of Alqong and traveler application and best application will give you many choices and the people or taste

The only one I remember is that the early bookings will save you at least 25%

Make sure you arrange your trip early that's what I think it is in our society and our culture but try to

XVI: Business trip or call it a recruitment trip for employment

Before writing any advice and from experience that passed over 10 times you dont travel for recruitment before you connect there and arrange your loyalty with them to prepare the appropriate efficiency for you

and important you try to prove that you are serious in traveling to the Philippines and you need workers to send a photo of Elvis and the ticket so they take it more seriously and arrange for you the right job

Of course the Philippines and Wanosia are different than any other country because you will have to pay fees for bringing the worker to the office there and this thing what happens in India and Pakistan for example ...

The important tips came out of the embassy after more than one problem occurred:

1_ It is strictly prohibited to have any passport belonging to a Filipino citizen punishable by prolonged imprisonment, and an advice that does not carry an employment passport even if the worker is given a claim that you are completing his procedures to review the recruitment office or to review medical clinics to obtain medical reports or to submit them for reference At the embassy I leave the deal between him and the Bureau officially.

2_ interview the workers are forbidden except in the hotel or their work place I mean stay careful the meeting is in the recruitment offices

3.check The embassy to identify licensed offices and ensure their safety.

4.some types of employment require that you obtain a contract of employment from the Philippine Embassy in Riyadh or the consulate in Jeddah before obtaining the authorization of the employment office such as maids, special drivers, workers, nurses and sewing.

5._ provide comprehensive insurance for the driver and the car from the kingdom prior to obtaining the authorization of the Philippine Labor Office for Driver and office there is possible to walk it.

6.the Barbers and the treatment technician are required to be at least 35 years of age and to be a Muslim of religion. And in some cases if it is a non real name visa a special driver and you line the nurse

7_ Nannies and butchers require the embassy to be Muslim.

8._ Make sure that an electronic authorization is settled for the office or at least leave the papers close to you in Saudi Arabia and if you put it on the office you will settle the authorization electronically

9._ Of course the embassy has the right to do a personal interview with any applicant to obtain a visa from Filipino workers and this what happens is rare.

10.make sure you compare office prices and take the opinion of the embassy in the perfect office which has had complaints and accomplished quickly

11._ in employment and technicians testing centers will give you a full report on the level of the worker make sure you settle it.

The advice is all over and under sometimes you disagree with it and nothing happens if God wants but more careful and because it is not a final entrance

General Tips & Security Tips:

Make sure you don't accept any services you matalbetha because it is the gate of the monument.

Do not look at different times and in streets free of people

It is always recommended that you dont draw attention to you or the one with you wearing like gold jewelry and expensive watches or carrying something valuable

Don't count your money in front of people, make sure you divide the small and large coins so it's easy for you to spend.

Passports, money and credit cards, you better leave it at the hotel and the secretariats and take a picture with you.

Try to take the rest of the food from the restaurants and give it to any working person at the hotel because the Filipino people appreciate this thing and consider it a gift for them and you may have kept the blessing

Smile is your way to the hearts of Filipinos, so always smile and negotiate.

Memorize the words "Greetings po" and write like this Salamat po and it mean thanks and Bo means extra respect and KOMTA and mean how are you the Mahal and mean expensive

If anyone bothers you, it's rare, not to answer, but to leave without looking at it, because they consider the sharp looks a challenge.

If you meet anyone and it looks like it's abnormal, try to avoid it and not talk to him.

The Philippine people are somewhat curious so they carry their looks for you and ask them because it comes from goodness

In case of fights where you are, leave the place immediately and quickly and don't watch.

Never go to cocks because it's a place for fights and gambling.

The embassy number must be with you, and so is the hotel card.

Taxi Call the yellow Guide at the hotel or let the hotel ask for it for you and ask them yourself before you go out on the price (taxis always safe) and if you take it from the outside there is no harm 

There are more than one telecom company but the best of the globe and Smart is hearts and smart and they have special slides that are preceded by payment and can be shipped in more than one place

Take the traveler's coffee. You have to go to the air and move it and run it easy

Position and thoughts got me in the Philippines:

I recall on one of my travels in 2007 to the state of the Philippines. I was eager to visit the families of my employees to connect my relationships and their affiliation with me. The visit I was carrying with me had some candy and gifts for the family of a staff member of my company and his name was Leto.

His family lived in one of the distant villages, and I moved on, not so easy. I started it on the subway and then into a bus and then into a boat to settle down on a small island where a number of people were

At the time and on my way there my attention was drawn to the people who come to me without an appointment to meat with me in these places I mean the bus and the transportation in general was treated between us in paper literature and dedication and courtesy to the feelings of our side whatever?

These positions are not confined only to the Philippines but always to our movements.
